The hot topic issue of parental rights could be discussed during tonight's Mountain View School Division board of trustees meeting.
A delegation is expected to be in attendance regarding the issue.
School board chair Gabe Mercier says they are currently reviewing documents related to the issue from three provinces, but stresses that no proposals have been brought forward to them regarding this topic, on either side.
He says they have a protocol to follow, "if '' they ever do receive a proposal.
"If the proposal is controversial, my right-hand rule is to first put it to an in-camera committee, and let them take a look at it. And if we think it is palatable to the public, we would put it to the public and let them know that we have received that proposal. But so far we have not received any proposals by anyone, on those issues"
Mercier admits he has received numerous emails on the topic as of late.
"Some of the emails do not reflect what is happening. because we do not have a proposal regarding that issue. All we have are three documents that we are discussing. And the people misunderstand what a proposal is. I think as adults, we should be able to discuss issues in education and seriously consider them and then either cast them aside or to look at it."
Mercier says the documents they are reviewing, which were from New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, are currently being reviewed at their policy level.
